Young Millennials Have A Positive View Of Targeted Ads. Others? Not So Much.

More than half of US adults believe that targeted advertisements are an inappropriate use of personal data rather than a convenient way to see products they’re interested in, according to more than 3,100 US adults surveyed by YouGov. Asked which choice best matched their perception, fewer than 3 in 10 of total respondents chose the option that targeted advertisements are a convenient way to see products they are interested in.

What Do Seo And Ppc Agencies Charge?

Google’s investor release for Q1 2019 showed that the number of paid clicks fell by 9% in the past quarter, while CPC has risen by 5%. So how much should you be paying for external support to make the most out of Google – and other search engines? The data from Credo comes from 271 marketing agencies and consultants across a range of digital disciplines, including SEO and PPC. It’s worth noting these figures tend to be from small firms or solo practitioners, with only around 1 in 3 working at a firm with 5 staff or more – and that PPC spend doesn’t necessarily exclude the media costs due to the survey’s design. Some 40% of US SEO agencies charge between $101-$150 per hour, with a full 71% charging between $101-$200 per hour. Read More: www.marketingcharts.com

Does your ad provide reader value (aka content)?

HAVE CONSUMERS BECOME APATHETIC TOWARDS ADVERTISING?: While consumers in other countries seem to get more enjoyment from advertising, the UK is the only market that has a lower percentage of consumers who enjoy advertising than the US. The data also suggests that where consumers happen to view an ad contributes to how much it is enjoyed. As brands look to get their message through, consumers may be seeing more of this sort of advertising, as last year advertisers were expected to allocate more of their digital advertising budgets towards native advertising, which included product placement on television.
